Wee Hame,
January Sixth, 1949 1,071st meeting.

Because of an indisposition Esther Stabler was not able to
have The Association so we met with Ethel Thomas at Wee Hame for the 1,071
meeting, January sixth, 1949. There was not a very full attendance, but
those of us who were in the neighborhood, and well were there and
enjoyed a social hour with good food, company and conversations. We
were sorry to hear that Edith Green had, the day before had a fall,
and broken her arm.

We called to order a little before two, with Elza Thomas presiding.
Catherine Adams read her minutes of the last meeting, held
at Tanglewood, and the Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting,
at Wee Hame.

Elza had gloves which had been left at her home after the last
meeting.

Ethel Thomas, for her sentiment, quoted from her grandfather's
scrap book of 1868;- "Try to think beforehand of the circumstances
under which you speak, where, of whom, before whom, to whom and what--
Never say anything that will make anyone less happy, or have a lower
opinion of another, unless you can make someone feel better by so
doing." William Henry Farquhar.

Our hostess was advised to use Dupont Dulex paint for her
kitchen and bathroom as it washes beautifully.

Fanny Iddings read more from her father's diary, telling of
his experiences in California during the gold rush days.

Miss. Alice had nothing.

Iris Beall read of the new seasoning M.S.G., a taste stimulent,
not a flavor. This brought out some discussion.

Deb. Willson read from the Sunday Baltimore Sun of the Church
for the deaf.

Grace Thomas read of the Chickadee who is useful for distroying
canker worms on trees.

Isabel Wesley read a playlet her mother had written and sent
her while Isabel was in college.

Lena Belle told us of their jumping puppy. Her facial expressions
and gesticulations can not be put on paper, but she will be ready to
take Cornelia Gillams place when she retires, if not before.

Helen Moore had nothing, but said the seal done by Mary Davis,
and referred to in the minutes of last time, is at Plainfield.

Rose Hutton read from "Shake well Before using", a book containing
something of everything, which listed twenty-one books which
have sold over two million copies in the United States.

Can Pacasandra be grown in the house in a window box? Noone
knew, but urges Rose to try and let us know.

Helen Hallowell read of Audubon and his beautiful bird paintings

Helen Farquhar read from "Tidewater Maryland", on the division
of Countries, Election Districts etc.

Stella Moore read of the Kruger National Park, the World's largest
Zoo.
